You know, nitrogen deficiency can be the reason for yellow leaves. If you notice lower leaves are truing yellow but upper leaves remain green, then the plant needs nitrogen to develop chlorophyll. Apply coffee grounds on the soil of rose bushes and water. The coffee ground can feed nitrogen to your plant. You can also feed commercial knockout rose fertilizer. Pests and insects can damage the knockout rose plants by yellowing the leaves.
Japanese beetles, Rose scales, Rose leafhopper, Slugs, Aphids, thrips, sawflies, and grasshoppers are the major pests of knockout roses. They penetrate their sucking type mouth into the soft stems and leaves and release toxin substances into the plant tissue.
As a result, the leaves become yellow and fall off. Check the under surfaces of leaves to confirm the yellowing leaves for insects or not. Apply neem oil, insecticidal soap, or other rose insecticides on the leaves of the knockout roses. You can also mix up both neem oil and insecticidal soap for better and quick results.
If you have not enough time to make your insecticidal soap or neem oil recipe, buy the readily available neem oil or insecticidal soap for your knockout rose plant. Some diseases can be reason of yellow leaves. Black spot is the major fungal disease of rose that can turn the leaves yellow. At first, you will notice some black spots on the leaves.
After a few days, the leaves become yellow and fall. Remove the affected leaves carefully and destroy them. Spray neem oil or rose fungicide to control the diseases. Remember; fungicide can work well in the early stage. Stop fertilizing in late summer or early autumn.
Check the "Knock Out" rose for round, black spots with yellow halos, which are signs of black spot, a fungal disease that causes leaves to turn yellow and drop from the plant.
Remove and destroy damaged canes, as diseased growth may infect other plants. If the problem persists, treat affected leaves by applying a commercial powder or spray fungal treatment. Prevent black spot by keeping the area free of fallen leaves and other plant debris. Still, there is no need to spray. The rose will get over this disease on its own without your intervention and look better eventually.
Rake the fallen leaves regularly and dispose of them. Blame the wet spring for the bad outbreak of daylily rust this year as well. Daylily rust was first reported in the Southeastern U. The disease causes the foliage to yellow and brown. Turning an infected leaf over you will see orange raised spots on the back of the leaf. The rusty orange spores will rub off on your finger.
